From Here to There by Margery Cuyler

A little girl travels from the comforts of her own home to the far reaches of the universe. The journey begins in Maria's house and then moves outward to the street, town, country, continent, hemisphere, planet, solar system, galaxy, and, finally, the universe. With each new widening perspective, children can explore the vastness of the world around them as they discover their own special place in space.

Margery Cuyler is the author of many books for children, including The Little Dump Truck, Thats Good! Thats Bad!, and the chapter book Weird Wolf. Ms. Cuyler grew up in the oldest house in Princeton, NJ, and started writing stories as soon as she learned how to write. She now lives in the same house with her husband, sons and two cats. Yu Cha Pak was born in Seoul, Korea, where she studied classical Oriental art before immigrating to the United States. Ms. Pak is the illustrator of Benito's Dream Bottle, by Naomi Shihab Nye. She lives in Houston, Texas.
